[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1397387, member: 19880"] Good luck with your Electrosport! Long-term satisfaction with them has been far from universal. I do not know whether they changed the design or manufacturing processes recently but quite a few people bought them a number of years ago to augment the electrical systems on their Gen I FJRs. Especially in the days before decent LED auxiliary lighting - halogens take a lot more power. The extra lighting plus heated gear for two put the charging system into a deficit condition. The Electrosport seemed to be a decent cost-effective solution but many discovered they were not good for the long haul. 25-30,000 miles and most were toast. (Wonder if they took electrical design lessons from Lucas) In any case, it is possible that the reliability of the product has improved since then but you would be wise to keep an eye on it and be prepared in case of failure. Not sure if there is any warning but hot wires would not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about it! (Do a forum search for Electrosport) [/QUOTE]
